Christopher John Thomas April 16, 1974 - January 22, 2021

Christopher John Thomas, beloved son of John and Janet Thomas, brother of Kelly Thomas, father to Wyatt Janevski, partner to Mona Dobbins, uncle of Ryan Hunter, great uncle of Harper, Jack and Graham Hunter and Macie Clark, died unexpectedly on January 22, 2021 at the age of 46.  Chris was found unconscious early Thursday morning.  The EMTs were able to get his heart started but he never regained consciousness.  Chris was an organ donor and due to this parting act of kindness, he saved the lives of 4 other people.  Our family is so proud of Chris’s choice.  We are absolutely heartbroken to lose Chris and we will miss him forever.

We will miss his sweet nature, his ridiculous sense of humor and his constant pursuit of new things. Chris was a talented artist.  He loved to paint and draw.  He worked as a mechanic and always loved cars from the time he was little. He especially loved classic cars.  As a teenager Chris was a champion cyclist winning the bronze medal at Nationals Time Trial.  He wasn’t always faster than the other bikers but he had unbelievable endurance. This made him a formidable competitor. He loved being in nature hiking and fishing. To view his online memorial go to https://youtu.be/0Km-0KUjxAs.

Chris leaves behind his precious son, Wyatt.  Wyatt is ten years old.  He is a kind and beautiful child.  Wyatt has already survived a battle with cancer at 4 years old and now he has lost his dad he loved so much.  Our family’s priority at this time is to ensure some financial security for Wyatt’s future.  He is very bright and has been identified as gifted. He was so proud of Wyatt.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to a fund for Wyatt’s Education:  https://gofund.me/51ce0c3f

Our family would also like to encourage people to consider organ donation. We appreciate the support we received from the staff at both Mercy West and The Life Center team.
